Book Description
One of the century's most spectacular archaeological finds occurred in 1921, a year before
Howard Carter stumbled upon Tutankhamun's tomb, when Poul Norlund recovered dozens of
garments from a graveyard in the Norse settlement of Herjolfsnaes, Greenland. Preserved intact
for centuries by the permafrost, these mediaeval garments display remarkable similarities to
western European costumes of the time. Previously, such costumes were known only from
contemporary illustrations, and the Greenland finds provided the world with a close look at how
ordinary Europeans dressed in the Middle Ages. Fortunately for Norlund's team, wood has always
been extremely scarce in Greenland, and instead of caskets, many of the bodies were found
swaddled in multiple layers of cast off clothing. When he wrote about the excavation later,
Norlund also described how occasional thaws had permitted crowberry and dwarf willow to
establish themselves in the top layers of soil. Their roots grew through coffins, clothing and
corpses alike, binding them together in a vast network of thin fibers - as if, he wrote, the finds had
been literally sewn in the earth. Eighty years of technical advances and subsequent excavations
have greatly added to our understanding of the Herjolfsnaes discoveries. Woven into the Earth
recounts the dramatic story of Norlund's excavation in the context of other Norse textile finds in
Greenland. It then describes what the finds tell us about the materials and methods used in making
the clothes. The weaving and sewing techniques detailed here are surprisingly sophisticated, and
one can only admire the talent of the women who employed them, especially considering the
harsh conditions they worked under. While Woven into the Earth will be invaluable to students of
medieval archaeology, Norse society and textile history, both lay readers and scholars are sure to
find the book's dig narratives and glimpses of life among "the last Vikings" fascinating.
